Once you have washed your swimsuit you need to squeeze it properly and hang it inside out, by putting pegs either on the straps or on the pad. If the weather allows it, let it dry in the open air but away from direct sunlight which may speed up color degradation. Fabrics containing elastomer shall display drying instructions stating they have to be hung so as to allow water to drip and disperse faster and in a more even way compared to swimwear which are flat dried, on a horizontal surface.

These are the essential steps for washing your swimwear.

Let’s now move on to discuss how to remove stubborn stains from your swimwear.

 

How to get stains out of bathing suits

Swimsuits, like any other garment, may get stained. Their enemies are:

  • sunscreen: both creams and oils, especially if spray, may end up on your swimwear. You may want to spray your creams first onto your hands and then spread them on your skin;
  • salt: it inevitably ends up onto your swimwear when at the sea;
  • chlorine: even in this case, chlorine generates whitish spots.

How to remove sunscreen stains from your swimwear? And also, how to remove chlorine smell from your swimsuits? Washing your swimwear items immediately after using them may help removing creams and oils and also part of the chlorine smell.  Once formed, it is quite hard to remove such stains, especially because aggressive detergents and bleach are to be avoided.

Can you wash your swimsuits with a washing machine?

Our beachwear fabrics can be machine washed and will not be damaged. Hand washing is preferable but washing machines may be functional in our everyday life or for a final washing at the end of summer.

How can you machine wash your swimwear? By selecting the most delicate program and without spin-drying them. What temperature to set to wash your swimwear, instead, depends on how you’d like to set your washing cycle: 30° or cold washing. 

You just have to avoid leaving swimsuits inside the washing machine for too long; you’d better dry your swimwear by using a delicate tumble dryer as soon as possible.
